The trade dynamics between Latin America and the Global North reveal significant inequalities. In 2020, the region contributed vast resources, including more than 900 million tonnes of materials.
Additionally, approximately 4 million km2 of land was appropriated, alongside a staggering 53 billion hours of labor. These figures highlight the scale of resource extraction from Latin America.
Such disparities raise questions about the fairness of international trade practices and the long-term implications for Latin American countries.
